[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 87626, member: 1967"] Be careful with giving alcohol to teachers as presents. A middle school boy here in Atlanta was suspended from school because he gave his French teacher a bottle of French wine for Christmas. It caused quite an uproar and probably shouldn't have resulted in a suspension but the rule was that students can't bring alcohol to school. So I would be careful about that. I always enjoy restaurant gift certificates and store gift certificates. My favorite present last year was something I got after a parent (a teacher at another school) emailed me and asked what my favorite foods were. I told her Italian food and the present was a set of Christmas glasses, a 2 liter bottle of diet coke (the student told her that I was always drinking a diet coke in class), and a gift certificate from a local pizza delivery place. Another special present I received was an ornament that had a student's name engraved on it. I got it my first year of teaching and have put it on my tree every year for the past 27 years. I think about her each time I place the ornament on the tree and wonder how her life has turned out. Of course, I still think of her as 12 years old. It doesn't have to be a present that costs anything, though. Like Abbey and Sharon said, the personal notes mean a lot ~ especially when they come from the kids! ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
